Ah Curly, my old archnemesis! Hold on that's not how we interacted on this thread! Close enough.
Unicorn and Wasp will be up eh? Remember Curly, my contest still stands. 16 weeks ago I said I'd give you a cookie for every Agatha Cristie title you found in the ep. I hope you aint forgotten.
Did you ever watch WoRS? Did you like it? We all know what I thought.
I miss your old form.

Also, do watch WORS before christmas special, they may reference back to it (the doctor has to pretend that he's dead now.)

Re: Doctor Who thread II: "I should have a hat like that." [SPOILERS]
An ambassador from ponythread comes in peace, love and tolerance.
I want to make a fanfiction about Doctor Whooves (or more specifically, his two assistants Colgate and Derpy). Unfortunately, I do not and never have seen Doctor Who. Could someone give me some basic hints as to his personality (well, one of the Doctors, anyway) and tools of the trade?

Re: Doctor Who thread II: "I should have a hat like that." [SPOILERS]
Seriously?
I mean, yeah, we could try to be briefly sum up his personality, but it really wouldn't get it across in full. It'd feel somewhat disrespectful to simplify him so. Just watch the show (Specifically, you'd want series 2-4, since Doctor Whooves is Ten).
Sorry if I'm coming off as hostile, but, well, Doctor Whooves isn't really a character in MLP:FiM. The fans decided he was a pony Doctor. Meaning that as far as his character is concerned, Doctor Who is the source material. You would seriously write a fanfic without knowing anything of the source material besides a few snippets other people had told you? It makes no sense. Write what you know."'But there's still such a lot to be done...'
YES. THERE ALWAYS IS."

Re: Doctor Who thread II: "I should have a hat like that." [SPOILERS]
Yeah, you'd want the 10th Doctor, since he's the one Whooves resembles.
As for his personality....well, he's usually quite manic and cheerful, tends to talk a lot and engage in technobabble, has a rather cheeky sense of humor. He's a genius and not at all shy about admitting it. When thrust into a dangerous situation he immediately fast talks his way into being in charge, even as everyone stands around wondering who this weirdo is.
Ten has a dark streak a mile wide, though. He has been through a lot of trauma, and can turn cold and vengeful pretty quickly. When an enemy has crossed the line, no matter what horrible thing they have done, he will give them one chance to give up and find a peaceful solution. When they refuse (and they always do), all bets are off and they are screwed. Dude's not a guy you want to cross. And he'll feel horrible about it afterward. Guy can switch from hilariously goofy to downright scary to "really needs a hug" in the course of a single scene.
EDIT:
Oh, and I don't know if you've read the rest of this thread, but a page back I pointed out that, as of "Sweet and Elite", apparently other Doctors have received shout outs in MLP.Last edited by Starscream; 2011-12-14 at 12:59 AM.

Re: Doctor Who thread II: "I should have a hat like that." [SPOILERS]
Well, can't say I particularly approve of Pony based crossover fanfiction, but I'm not exactly in a position to judge.
First, watch the latest 2 seasons of Doctor Who, just as they're so good.
But if you want something faster first, then that can be covered.
Okay, facts about the Doctor.
Rule 2: The Doctor is smart. Smarter than anyone else in the room, no matter what room, and sometimes he doesn't even need a room to be smart in. And he knows it. Often rubs it in. Doesn't mean he's always right. Doesn't prevent him from going "okay, I was wrong." sometimes, but he's generally doing something clever.
Rule 3: The Doctor is old. Very, very old. He may still be energetic, but he's seen it all. Twice.
Rule 4: Also, alien. Very, very alien. He comes at everything from a different angle, and is still amazed by people being people, for good and ill.
Rule 5: Basically, he's trying to be a cheery fellow on the side of the angels, but the latest go rounds got some deep seated anger issues, and when he's provoked enough, he's going to do worse than kill you.
Rule 6: He gives you a chance. No matter what, he gives you a chance.
And that's it.
All the rules.
Rule 1: The Doctor lies.Last edited by chiasaur11; 2011-12-14 at 12:58 AM.

If I creep into your house in the dead of night and strangle you while you sleep, you probably messed up your grammar.
I'm always extremely careful to hedge myself against absolute statements.

Peace, love and tolerance? In our Who? What is this, RTD running the show again?
Nah, if you weren't scared away entirely... watch the show. I'm sure you'll like it. Though I guess you might as well watch the 5th and 6th season with 11. But that's up to personal preference... (Though I guess Whooves resembles 10 much more)
But I swear if I ever see a blue phone box in ponyville...

Re: Doctor Who thread II: "I should have a hat like that." [SPOILERS]
Probably not, I expect it was exaggeration for comic effect.
Think you've nailed the best(?) ones. The thing that tended to let them down for me was more the unconvincing fight choreography and guards who are completely incapable of even the most cursory search.
Although the pantomime Myrka (thanks!) was truly embarassing, I think Michael Grade is a bit disingenuous in that by starving the program of funds he prevented them from producing decent special effects. Mind you, there are ways and means of disguising poor costumes, and shooting them in full figure, in bright light, is not it!The Lazy GM series.

Re: Doctor Who thread II: "I should have a hat like that." [SPOILERS]
Tardis Wiki's profile should give you pointers on his personality.
I think that rule has been forgotten because the Doctor always fails at enforcing it. Alternatively, the Doctor lied about Rule 1 being "don't wander off".

I think this hasn't been linked yet (don't read if you don't want to know anything about the next series)
SpoilerAmy and Rory's last series
personally, I think it's quite good, there's not really much more that they'll bring to the table, especially not after saving all of creation twice, it'll be interesting to see how the new companion(s) work out
It also says "during" the next series, rather than at the end, which could be interesting.Last edited by Dogmantra; 2011-12-15 at 06:33 PM.

SpoilerI am torn. On the one hand I agree with you there story is largely told. They had a big impact and a great story arc and development.
On the other, Rory and Amy are my favorite companions. They are one of the 3 romances that I have ever actually rooted for. I don't want to see them go.
All I can say is the next companion(s) better be badasses.
